About Me
Environmental Engineer. Developed allergies in my late teens. Now have asthma problems which my doctor thinks I've had since a child and it went undiagnosed. i feel as if I am slowly becoming allergic to everything: penicillin, (slight allergy to Vitamin C), bees, cats, pet dander, pollen, grass, molds, wool, certain lotions.... each year it's a new thing :(

Close Asthma
Type: Adult AsthmaA week ago (4/23/09) I was told I had uncontrolled asthma. Before that I knew I had asthma when around cats, but did not think it was a daily/chronic issue. Doctor thinks I've had it since childhood and that I was never diagnosed. Things I have always struggled to do now make sense. Just started treatment, my peak flow test was at 65% and I'm hoping to get at least a 20% improvment. Now that I'm getting proper treatment, I hope to eventually become a runner and do a 5K.
Treatments
- Advair Too Soon to Tell
- Just started this on 4/23/09. At first my heart would race and I couldn't sleep, but after a few days, I don't have any side effects. Take it twice a day now.
- Albuterol Working / Worked
- Had been taking it as needed when around allergy triggers. Now I am taking it fifteen minutes before any physical activities.
- Breathing Exercises Too Soon to Tell
- Just started this. Hope it works.
- Singulair Working / Worked
- Have been on this for over a year - helps with my allergies.
- Prednisone Not Working
- This was awful it made me feel like I was crawling out of my skin and I cried a lot for no reason. Only lasted a few days on this.
